The Lectures on Superconducting Magnet Test Stands, Magnet Protections and Diagnostics (TIDM2 x SC Magnets) scheduled for 2025 are part of the SMTF Workshop (link) & IDSM Workshop. This event will be held for the second time, following its inaugural edition in 2023 (link).
For this series of 22 lectures, speakers from worldwide laboratories (ASIPP, CEA, CERN, CFS, EPFL, FNAL, IFJ PAN, IPP CAS, LBNL, ORNL, PSI, Pennsylvania State University, PSFC MIT, Tampere University ) will cover the main aspects of a superconducting magnet test stand (cryogenics systems, power supplies, current leads). A second part will then be dedicated to the design and use of magnet protection systems (high voltage electrical integrity checks, quench detection, energy extraction, strip heaters, CLIQ) with emphasis on specific instrumentations technics (quench antenna, strain gauges, fiber optic sensors). A session dedicated to HTS coil testing with cryocoolers is planned on the second part as well. The third part will introduce the problematics of testing large fusion superconducting coils with practical examples from ITER, ASIPP and CFS experience.
